The league offered to indemnify, but not to
defend and indemnify. The difference is that, if sued, Walsh would have to pay for his own attorney out of pocket. If he is found liable, the league would then pay the damages, but not Walsh's fees. Also, my understanding is that the league has attempted to place conditions on the obligation to indemnify. This could create a risk to Walsh as well.
What the league should be doing is offering (unconditionally) to "defend, indemnify and hold harmless."
